Challa wants to be your one and only.
All this darling one-year-old Australian Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix wants is someone special who understands him. Challa enjoys long walks on the beach, snuggling on the couch, and playing in the yard.
Challa isn't a fan of sharing the spotlight, so he would be happiest in a home with no other animals or young children.

Step aside, Harry. There is a new Duke in town!
Meet Duke. Much like the Duke of Sussex, this one-year-old American Shorthair enjoys polo, philanthropy, and Santa Barbara County sunshine.
Ok... that's not entirely true. This Duke doesn't know what polo is, and as a cat, his philanthropic interests are fairly limited. But Duke definitely enjoys sunbathing. Duke is also fond of spending time with his human pals and snuggling with other cats. He might be a little shy when you first meet him, but with a little time and some gentle pats, he quickly warms up.
If Duke sounds like your kind of cat, come into our cat and kitten adoption walk-in hours Friday-Sunday from 12-4 PM. Can't make it during those hours? Email Adopt@sbhumane.org to make an adoption appointment today!
